Breakfast Club Thank you to all parents, carers and governors who have made a donation to support the running and continued success of breakfast club. Your support is invaluable and much appreciated. Any donations can be taken to the school office or handed in at Breakfast Club Reception. Swimming Gala Last night Mr McDonald and Miss McCormick accompanied eight incredibly brave Junior children to the Skelmersdale schools' swimming gala. They were: Adam (Y6), Eleanor (Y6) and Tanya (Y6), and Peter (Y5), Adam (Y5), Koby-Jack (Y5), Millie (Y5) and Caitlin (Y5). The gala was held in Wigan and didn't finish until 8:30pm so it was an incredibly long night for the children. Despite this, they did amazingly well and represented Bishop Martin with real pride! Special mention to Caitlin who won the silver medal (overall 2nd place) for the 25 metre Breaststroke. A big thank you for the parents/family who were able to attend the event. Well done team, we are all incredibly proud of you!
Dropping off and collecting children from school When dropping off and collecting children please park in the car park opposite Beechwood court or in the church car park. For safety reasons please do not bring cars on to the school grounds or leave them in front of the entrance. Thank you for your cooperation.
